i dont know how many times you need to be told there is no difference between the info that pilots get and flight attendants except that flight attendants are afraid to ask or are easily fobbed off
I always get an explanation if i want it and so to many crew. i also know that you are entitled to ask the question of the OT officer.
If you are met with a fob off then ring the FAAA and ask the enquiries officer to ring the duty manager.
as far as the so called bribes are concerned , i have been hearing it for 25 years and everyone has a view on it. if you have the proof you need to do something about it.
If you expect someone else to do it for you and make accusations that you are not prepared to make yourself then forget it
I have never accused anyone of anything in 25 years as i cant prove jack !!!!!. despite my personal views and theories unless there is some compelling evidence you cant do anything about it. And neither can the pilots. Given that the pilots sick leave is the lowest in the company, the open time takes about 30 minutes to do
the flight attendants open time takes most of a day sometimes its much more complicated with different EBA requirements.
